Dear class of 301,
My name is Peter Yang and I am writing this application letter intended to express my interest in being part of your group for this semester. I believe my expertise and experience will bring a positive contribution to the group.
I will graduate next May with a BA in Psychology. Due to the abundance of options out there, I began to overthink what I wanted to do after college. Among my options were graduate schools for psychology and law at UBC, and the School of Education at UBC. In the end, I decided to go into the legal field because math is not required in this profession and be admitted, whereas the others do. As a result, entering Law School and becoming an attorney would be my best option.
Aside from this, I have participated in various volunteer work in the past. For example, I was a program leader for an afterschool care program called Steveston United Peers, which is designed for kids with disabilities to practice social skills. In addition, I also have volunteered as a swim coach at River Club and as a volunteer for my swim club: Richmond Kigoos Swim Club. On top of that, I also have volunteered at various charity events such as the Canadian Cancer Society.
In addition to my volunteer experience, I enjoy swimming and playing basketball. In fact, I used to be on the Provincial swim team, where the swim meet was broadcasted live online on the BC Summer Swiming Association website in 2016. Furthermore, I also have earned numerous awards and am often a Finalist for all my events.
Based on my previous experiences, I think that I am the perfect candidate for the team because of my social skills, my habit of starting assignments early and completing them in a timely manner; my habit of helping people; my habit to help with creating ideas; my habit of helping with some editing, and my habit of checking my email all the time. However, I occasionally have some grammatical errors, and sometimes lose focus if I work on something for long durations but other than that, I believe I am suitable to be part of your group. Finally, I hope that I receive your message at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Peter Yang
